Broken dreams (10)

42 FLAT OF THE CLAIRVOYANT MARIANN - the SPACE in
which Madleine is - MEET

Soul of the selfmurderer
(affected)
"Certainly you will be right, dear Madleine, you were always the cleverer. And
you promise help to me?"

Madleine
(eases)
"Yes, you get help of the soul of his about all beloved mother, but does not
bother them with any questions, we have it currently hard enough also without
messages."

NARRATOR
"While Madleine was fetched back, Christopher RF on the ground found lie in
that small space. When he got him laboriously awake, the actor struggled
after air and the orderly reached for the oxygen device which stood just not
pure coincidencially in this space. Since the clients of the magic women more
often struggled sometimes after air. Indeed, before amazement about the
results and not like RF which was demanded too much with his body in
variously regard: the seeming advantages were there, but the internal effects
catastrophically: Immune system strongly groggy, he beyond all measure
sensitively and this aerial need became also dangerous. After Christopher had
helped, he brought the man to the parked car and called Madleine on mobile
phone which appeared surprised very fast."

43 INSIDE - PASSENGER AREA - MEET

MADLEINE
(unhappily)
"You can say me, why you me not normally get has come?"

CHRISTOPHER
(greedily)
"If you know Madleine, can be that you have had the best wire to him earlier,
but they him to you now in: he breaks down with every little thing and we do
not know yet what takes part in his body generally, he suffers from
breathlessness like an old man and certainly we have to laugh the next night
also nothing, so I would say sometimes: a little more thoughtfulness would be
already right!"

RF had listened very well to all disagreeable truth and took care of version.

RF
(hopelessly)
"Could argue your both somewhere else? Fantastically that now I know where
come on I am: look young, have, however, the whole mistakes of an older
man."

Madleine `s voice off-screen
"To think: if one had known it earlier, but what then? Unfortunately, the
situation has developed in such a way, we will have to pay attention just
always to you and there will probably also be a small Inhalator him, then this
is the slightest problem. It does not become dull guaranteed."

NARRATOR
"Madleine was not put on to macabre jokes, however, said itself: with a track
gallows humor this had to go on."

Madleine
(appeasing)
„Is sorry me, I could not know which will become a little harder it than
thought, no reason to become depressive.“

While Christopher went, RF saw without passion from the window. This
developed to a nightmare and he hoped sometime to awake from this.

Madleine
(very quietly)
„Drive please to RF `s sister, we would have there an idea which needs of the
conversion, because I have anyhow certain details of the screenplay in the
head, one can try out at least what. Why it should not work, moreover, she
should already see like he looks now.“

If she had waited for a reaction of RF, it did not come yet.

Marianne F. the RF very much loved, would she recognise him without next?

Madleine
„If you know, Christopher, a thing is to go to ruin in panic, to let go. The
better thing is: what can I do now to tear the oar around? Yes, there are
some young men who look level at the moment like he, maybe she will also
suppose, he is only one of these doubles. But a sister will always recognise
the brother, you also do not believe?“

Christopher
(gentle)
„We are there immediately, he can already consider what and how he teaches
her carefully, she will hold it for a joke and put to us everybody Three before
the door if she makes this generally on.“

NARRATOR
„Marianne was not always easy to take, artistically transferred: yes, but she
cannot be also lied with pleasure. RF considered few minutes what he could
do. Was his voice then still the same for the sister or had also changed them?“

44 OUTSIDE - LIVE BEFORE MARIANNES - MEET

A still young woman opened to them surprised, saw the young RF. One
could not take offence it at her if she did not fall to him immediately around
the neck.

MARIANNE
(chilly)
„I do not inform theatrical students, however, privately, for it I have no time.“

MADLEINE
(friendly)
„It is about a fact which is not to be explained so easily.“

Marianne
(impatiently)
„Also not in the front door?“

Madleine shook the head, touched the sweaty hand of her friend stronger and
meant Christopher, he may wait in the car, that did nothing rather than this.
Nevertheless, Marianne let in himself still soften, she asked.

45 INSIDE - SITTING ROOM of MARIANNE - MEET

MARIANNE
(rushed)
„I do not have a lot of time, the police has informed me, something with RF.“

RF saw the worry in her look, it hurt him to see them so sad.

RF
(carefully)
„Permit that I speak with the police, then this visit of you is not necessary
there.“

Marianne
(pricking up the ears)
„If I have been wrong. They are both of the police and want to inform me
carefully of something?“

Madleine
(ruthlessly)
„By what do you recognise your brother?“

Marianne sat down shaking on a chair, started to cry bitterly.

RF
(startled)
„Nevertheless, thus does not go, Madleine, they recognises me neither by the
voice nor by any flaw.“

Madleine
(mockingly)
„Flaw, possibly in the face? You make jokes, they were taken from you
everybody, you will have to resign yourself to the fact that your sister cannot
even recognise you again, is also too absurd what has happened.“

Marianne
(taken aback)
„Who are you? Is this here a practise of students, mine, you would have to try
out what? Then I will complain, you can count on it.“

RF also started to become nervous again, the air became scarce to him with
excitement, Madleine held out the small device to him fast, laboriously
breathing he found to himself. He did not want to lose his sister what do.

Madleine
(annoyingly)
„Of course your brother is not dead, he is changed only "easily". Have you
hidden something in your flat from the eyes of her brother, so that no second
person could guess the hiding place?“

Marianne
(surprises)
„Quite simply, he leaves me in the last visit a screenplay there, I should see
pure there sometimes, it still lies at the same place because I had no time for
it. Their friend will not find the hiding place, he is not my brother.“

RF went purposefully to one of 6 shelves, did not consider long and pulled
out the screenplay, the sister solidified, looked at him thoroughly.

Madleine
(tired)
„I hope, now, finally, you know that he is it, but maybe it requires even more
different proofs. What have you said only him and no one else from the
family?“

RF
(almost desperately)
„Allow to feel well, Madleine if she cannot think that I just no double am.“

He automatically went to a book, folded it forwards and pulled out the last
letter of his mother. At that time the sister had observed him when he
deposited him there. Now, finally, with a happy scream she fell to him around
the neck, cried once again.

Madleine noted how he swayed, Christopher had meant this: he was not
loadable and she did not want to be reflected at all from what would have
happened if his sister had not recognised him any more. She pulled RF
quickly over to the Coatch, the sister looked at them confused.

Marianne
(affected)
„Since when he is so easy to lash out, I know him differently.“

Madleine
(crossly)
„This is clear to me. Since has happened few days ago about which we do not
know how one should call it.“

The lie went for her quickly from the lips, then she knew whether wanted this
woman to believe in extrasensory things, in meetings with souls?

Madleine and Marianne brought him to bed and watched over him. These
few hours had become too much for him, fear and upcoming desperation set
in motion something in him what already knew Madleine and feared: the
violent fever what should also stop the next hours. How many excess powers
should he still use up? Did he have which generally? Madleine asked
Christopher in.

Christopher
(drily)
„Again?“

Madleine nodded and he helped both women.

46 INSIDE - BEDROOM of MARIANNE - MEET

RF could recognise Marianne still few minutes clearly, before he became
unconscious.

RF
(weakly)
„If this did not want to expect of you, forgive me, that I....“

Though in the ears of RF, Christopher and Madleine this well sounded, but
they had been the last time only in readiness and a sick person who only
pretends his illness, he was level not.

Christopher remained with RF which became slowly embarrassing. But
Christopher made clear to him that he may see now only forwards and if now
also the sister can help, it would go forward for him.

NARRATOR
"Who remains lying already by necessity on the bright day in the bed, as if he
dealt nothing else? RF could not know which happened in his body an
amount. Not only the face and the external cover became younger, also the
internal organs and what the person else so has to show. During the hours at
which he suffered new cells, apparently too many formed in wondrous
manner constantly.

Marianne and Madleine went of maintaining there in the sitting room around
himself, the atmosphere with the sick person became too sad to them to be
able to catch clear thoughts.

47 INSIDE - SITTING ROOM of MARIANNE - MEET

Marianne
(desperately)
"And he gets the fever constantly because of...?"

Madleine
(shaking the head)
"No, because of nothing at all, he does not have to do inexpressible fear have
been pending that you do not perceive him as your brother. Moreover: what
runs off in his changed body currently who can know this. Yet my friends, the
doctors are not have a therapy ready. Christopher can even observe and
improve the conditions on him, maybe he becomes never again quite healthy."

Marianne got up, went in the room to and fro and struggled the hands.

Marianne
(decided)
"Of course I help him and you, how?"

Madleine
(carefully)
„Let this please work on yourselves what I mean. He goes well without his
work before the dogs, so it would be if we make all plans during the day
tomorrow. All the same whether we can work in some studios, outdoors,
inside, scenery or what, otherwise. If he is occupied, he is made behave
rationally and we will take drugs. Sounds maybe mad, but his desperation
also touches from his idleness. Do you have the materials with which
Christopher RF `see face can allow to grow old? Christopher is a makeup
artist and orderly, latter, however, only besides.“

Marianne
(is surprised)
„Sounds really mad, however, goes only if he is tomorrow better on it.“

Madleine
(more happily)
„Then I do not see for RF any more so black.“

48 NARRATOR
„Evening and night ran in such a way as the day passed: RF did not come yet
again to itself and Christopher took care alone of him, he himself could also
get by sometimes several days without sleep.
Madleine always planned when it went beside RF to bed of overlooking the
present 2nd man. Did not make sure of course, yes, she felt and needed this
security also for beside her recumbent man who was hardly without fever at
the nights. It was irritating very well, because she had feelings of course. Even
if the skin of the partner was hot, shone with sweat and he moved quietly
sighing to and fro. She heard Christopher curse.“

INSIDE - BEDROOM of Marianne - night

MADLEINE
(is surprised)
„Since when one hears you cursing then sometimes, Christopher?
Nevertheless, is mostly the rest in person.“

CHRISTOPHER
(suppressed)
„Try you sometimes to lay drips if the skin is so firm as with an elephant, every
normal person does not have somewhere fat, he, however: firm meat,
muscles, just that what woman likes so: well-trained.“

Madleine
(amuses)
„If one sees it in such a way, you may be right. Why now absolutely still drips?“

Christopher
„I must come along to get his immune system to the running, understand. He is
like a great carriage without a lot of oil and almost without petrol, but will say
you a little.“

Madleine
(played offended)
„I am not stupid now also, knows more over cars than this 4 wheels, exhaust
and steering wheel have. Can one not wait till tomorrow early, then he can
take everything thus to himself without you must torment him?“

Christopher
(compassionately)
„Could understand if you had pity on a weakling that he is not at all, I will
have to change to him the envelopes on occasion, with sputter against the
fever he would have lighter had it, here you get no needle by, already a
wonderwork what you have created there.“

Madleine
(repulsing)
„I can only hypnotise and have failed there apparently very much, but I have
not created this miracle of man.“

She rose, threw a dressing-gown and helped the orderly to renew the humid
envelopes and they were occupied very long with it. About 4 o'clock the actor
was finally free of fever and had fallen asleep they dead tired.

49 INSIDE - SITTING ROOM of Marianne - MEET

NARRATOR
„Marianne had a look at the screenplay which left her RF once there. She
found those situations almost quite biographical when she read who has
rejected about which it was that one wants to film his private life. Excuse: is a
little thrilling. One could adjust the imaginative fairy tales and soul world
absolutely in the studio, partially. And RF as Heinrich VIII? Yes if he can be
made older by mask, also with wrong thick belly or it would become again an
almost slender ageing ruler who showed no resemblance with the original. But
that droll cardboard town which would get by only with German? Of course
not real Ralph Fiennes who would possibly have to be shown with another
actor looking similar to him... Since would the Briton parody himself virtually
himself or would he call it different? Marianne wanted reluctantly Ralph
Fiennes personally so that confront, because he would have the idea: “If I act
in an imagination film, I would have a look absolutely at the whole screenplay
and not only the part where I seem sometimes as by chance in it.“ Marianne
anticipated that the man had been written not at all by chance in, were level as
well as just certain indications now also directly were personal. Might one
name a living actor in an imagination film simply so or did not need there of a
direct arrangement with Fiennes?
Amazedly Marianne sat down in the most comfortable armchair which stood
there in the room. The name too often appeared to her and it was possibly
surer to change immediately the name, because future spectators would fancy
her heroes, nevertheless, from case to case with another face. The „English
patient“ as not quite uncomplicated Vinc who gets problems with drugs?

RF had joined as by chance to his sister and saw her depressed face.

RF
(meek)
„Does have the feeling, you are occupied very much with some questions
screenplay concerning?“

She nodded

Marianne
(indecisively)

„Have the sure feeling to turn me in the circle. Here the name Ralph Fiennes
appears, are you not of the opinion that this goes a little too far? And: it
cannot have been written about you, you have a little in the hat with all kinds
of fairy tale being and in living on after the death you also do not believe.“

RF
(tensely)
„No, once these were only sketches which to me Madleine handed over, I
found, besides, quite funny to put to me Ralph Fiennes in a droll German
imagination-film small town before and: I saw him anyhow before myself how
he might have been quite surprised as an about 34 year-old. But this is written
only so there and you know, how another film figure has said it: „I am not
responsible for this what the people give in my book of themselves.“ Do not
have this word for word, only thus as an idea taken. And where from
Madleine these sketches has from the year 2o...:keine notion.“

Marianne
(confuses)
„With „no notion“: believe yourselves no word. So much I still know, a young
thing took supposedly because of you the life, these lines of her come
because it gets dressed up in such a way to position itself before: RF could
mean purely theoretically even Ralph Fiennes? What only the man from the
women could make. Bet, even shrines exist in magic circles before which they
adore him like at that time in old Egypt the gods were adored. Today he
would inform you: „The Fact that I such a face had no reason is for heroic
admiration, was never a hero and wanted to be privately never one.“

RF
(amuses)
„You make yourself ridiculous. And you talk as if had met you Fiennes
personally. Nevertheless, to me it completely makes no difference, why one
made RF from my real name. May be that you turn in the circle because we
know not really how and when one could begin with the shooting. Madleine
will certainly be glad if it heard arguing to us so. The first notes have also
originated from a quarrel or annoyance out. Witty remark, by the way, with
RF synonymous with Ralph Fiennes, feels me immediately greater and more
considerably.“

NARRATOR
„And Marianne not even knew with these words whether he talked away so
or whether he felt really flattered.“
